Description

The Concorde: Airport '79 by John Berkey (Universal, 1979).
Original Casein Paint Concept Art No. 2 (15" X 20"). Action.
John Berkey (1932-2008) was an illustration artist most known for
his space and aviation paintings. His work was used on such films
as The Towering Inferno (1974), King Kong (1976),
The Hindenburg (1975) and many more. Berkey was hired to do
concepts for the third sequel to Airport (1970) called
The Concorde, dealing with the supersonic jet which was in
heavy use at the time the film was made. The concept painting is
done on heavy Crescent Illustration board. There are corner bends
and some border smudges. Otherwise, this piece is in incredible
condition. Very Fine.
